At the Corner Deli I'll spread knowledge, comment and the exchange of ideas through discussion of topics of the day, history or whatever moves me to write. The views, fantasies and delusions I write about are tinged with the Jewish spark of my memories of places like the Ashkenaz Deli on Morse Avenue in Rogers Park, Chicago -- a place where you could come and discuss anything. So please, kvell and kvetch a little.

Wait until you get to the part in the video from last night's Daily Show where they interview a "typical Republican delegate" on Monday night while Hurricane Gustav was rolling into Louisiana, really, truly pissed off that the RNC canceled Monday's events "because a few people are gettin' rained on". It's unbelievable to me that people like that actually exist in the world or that they have found a home in the Republican Party. In looking throughout the hall where the RNC is being held, I must admit I have never seen so many white people in one place since, well, the last Republican National Convention. This is a party for white people only? Or the occasional token minority? In this country? Right now? I can't believe it. I hope Sarah Palin-Von Schtupp wows 'em tonight on the benefits of being a woman from a state where men outnumber women 20:1. All those white folks need to learn how to dance, on the floor and in bed.
